Griffin Aerie
Core Set 2021 (M21) #22 · Uncommon · Enchantment
Mana cost: {1}{W}
At the beginning of your end step, if you gained 3 or more life this turn, create a 2/2 white Griffin creature token with flying.
When griffins started nesting atop the northern tower, the castellan worried they'd be a nuisance. Instead, they took the entire castle under their protection.
